Oct 26, 2010

WALTHAM, Mass. – The four members of the Brandeis
University women's soccer Class of 2011 accounted for seven goals
and six assists tonight as the Judges, ranked third in New England,
routed Lesley University, 10-0, in their final regular-season home
game on Gordon Field.

Brandeis improves to 12-3-1 on the campaign, registering their
highest regular-season win total since 2004. Lesley falls to 10-5-2
with the loss, which snaps a six-match winning streak. Brandeis was
playing against the Lynx's aggressive offside trap, which provided
21 offside calls against the Judges, but also allowed for the
second-most goals in school history.

Leading the way was senior forward Sofia Vallone (Westport,
Conn./Staples), who recorded her second hat trick of the season
with goals in the 11th, 26th and
83rd minutes. The three goals on the afternoon gave her
15 on the season, tying her for second with Lisa Kaplin '07 on
Brandeis's single-season goal scoring list, two behind the school
record of 17 set by Melissa Delowe '04 in 2003. Vallone also added
a pair of assists on the day, giving her an eight-point game, which
vaults her into third on the single-season points list with 34, six
behind Delowe's record of 40 points. Vallone also now has 26 goals
for her career, 10th on the career list.

Fellow forward Tiffany Pacheco (Rehoboth, Mass./Dighton-Rehoboth
Regional) also moved up some of Brandeis's career and season lists
with a goal and three assists for five points. The three assists
give her seven on the campaign and 26 for her career, just two
behind former teammate Melissa Gorenkoff '10 on the Judges'
all-time list. Her goal in the 74th minute mover her
into a tie for sixth on the career list with 29, while her five
points mover her into fourth on Brandeis's leader board with 84
points.

Also pitching in from the senior class was midfielder Ellie
Einhorn (Winter Park, Fla./Trinity Park), who notched her second
goal of the season in the 70th minute. Finally, back
Taryn Martiniello (Wilmington, Mass./Wilmington), who has played in
every minute of all 80 games of her career except one, scored twice
in a span of 32 seconds late in the game for her second and third
career goals. Martiniello also had an assist.

Also breaking into the scoring column today were rookie
forward/midfielder Madeline Stein (Mount Kisco, N.Y./Fox Lane), who
had a pair of goals, and junior midfielder Mimi Theodore (Walpole,
Mass./Walpole), who had a goal and two assists, giving her a
team-high nine helpers on the season. Theodore needs one more
assist for the fourth season of 10 in Brandeis history.

Brandeis returns to action this weekend Friday night at 6 p.m.
when they take on Washington University in University Athletic
Association play. Lesley faces New England Collegiate Conference
foe Newbury in their regular-season finale on Saturday at 2
p.m.
